FOR THE CURIOUS opening worlds of performance

Giving Voice International Festival, 2010

10th - 14th November, Pontedera, Italy

A festival of extraordinary voices from around the world.

Giving Voice springs from a strong belief in the voice’s ability to communicate beyond language and cultural difference, and that working with the voice can allow people, from wherever they come, to enjoy and value the riches of difference as well as the recognition and celebration of a common humanity.

Giving Voice is an established biennial international event mounted in Wales by the Centre for Performance Research (CPR). It aims to advance the appreciation and understanding of the expressive voice and celebrate its many and varied manifestations across time and culture. Sharing ideas and practice through workshop, performance, and discussion, the festival brings together those - performers, teachers, scholars, healers - who have an interest in the voice but who may not necessarily meet in the usual course of their practice.

From the 10th - 14th November 2010 a special edition of Giving Voice will hosted by
Theatre Pontedera, Italy

To register your interest in the project please contact us by email and a full programme of events will be sent to you as soon as it is available.

The Directors' Forum: The Six Senses of the Director, 9 – 18 April 2010, Aberystwyth

CPR invited some of the most exciting and diverse Wales-based and international theatre directors to Aberystwyth for an intensive participatory project that offered a rare opportunity for both experienced and emerging directors to gather and share the methods, approaches and skills of professional directing practice via laboratories and presentations, demonstrations and dialogue.

Throughout the forum our team of bursary barters and other participating directors updated the Directors' Forum blog with exploratory findings and news from inside the laboratories.

Please note: As a development of its own archives CPR documents all of its activities. Participants should therefore expect that workshop sessions will be appropriately recorded as a matter of course. Participation in CPR events is on the understanding that CPR is free to use such documentation in any manner in the future for its own publicity, archival and publication purposes.

To join the CPR mailing list please contact us by email, giving your first and last name.
